The `Run the World (Girls)` singer - who is married to rapper Jay-Z - initially wanted to retire from the spotlight and start a family when she hit her thirties, but now she is just months away she`s not so sure.

Speaking on TV show `Piers Morgan Tonight` she said: "I always said I`d have a baby at 30. I`m 29. But I also said I was going to retire at 30. I`m not retiring. Only God knows."

The `Single Ladies` hitmaker - who`s birthday is on September 4 - added she feels like she`s outgrown her 20s and is looking forward to embracing a new decade in her life.

She said: "Twenty nine is very strange. You`re still in your 20s, but you feel like you`re supposed to be 30, and I feel like a woman.

"I feel like 30 is the ideal age, because you`re mature enough to know who you are and have your
boundaries and your standards and not be afraid or too polite, but young enough to be a young woman. I`m so looking forward to it."
